It's been a decade since James Corden and Ruth Jones first won over the nation with one of the most popular sitcoms ever aired on British TV.

Since the final series of Gavin and Stacey in 2010, Melanie Walters, best known for playing Stacey’s mum, Gwen West, has starred in a number of dramas including Doc Martin, BBC’s Under Milk Wood and Stella and the family drama, High Tide.

As most of you probably are too, we are keeping our fingers crossed that hopefully one day she will reprise her role of the Barry-born omelette mad mum - hopefully in a ten year anniversary special.

Walters, who is currently starring in Theatr Clwyd’s new production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, told the Daily Post she would “never say no to another series” of Gavin and Stacey.

“James has his career in America now so there is no news at all of any future series of Gavin and Stacey unfortunately," she said.

“Whether there would ever be the odd special in the future, I don’t know, but the actors are usually the last people to know.

“I don’t think a series would work now - I think people would still love it but the expectations would be so huge.

“This country in particular does enjoy knocking most things - that may be an unfair comment to make but I think people would be ready to criticise.

“ Gavin and Stacey is held so high along with other classics, which is just amazing, so I don’t think anyone would want to disturb that really.

“I think a new series would change the complete dynamic of it, but I would never say no to another series.”

The 53-year-old mother of one, who also runs her own pilates business, Practical Pilates at home in Swansea, laughs as she told the Daily Post how years of making omelettes has not put her off.

Without doubt one of the most successful BBC Wales shows of recent years is Gavin and Stacey, which was written by James Corden and Ruth Jones. The show follows the romance between Gavin, from Billericay in Essex, and Stacey, from Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan. It has led to a surge in visitors to Barry Island.

“I would recommend everybody gets in to making omelettes, perhaps not as disturbing fillings as Gwen would put in, but honestly there’s nothing better to me than a feta cheese omelette with a bit of rocket.”

And we are sure you will all be pleased to hear that Walters was finally able to clear up what REALLY happened with Uncle Bryn and Jason on that mysterious fishing trip.

“Nobody knows,” she confessed.

“The writers don’t even know, it was just a bit of organic writing.

“Nobody put a history to it and I think it’s great - people can just decide for themselves what happened and it’s just a nice little conversation piece.”

The play written in the latter part of 1894 is a classic comedy about double lives, friendship and discovering who you really are.

Walters, who plays Miss Prism, the Governess of a young lady called Cecily Cardew, added: “The play is about duplicity, people pretending they’re people they’re not, a play about manners.

“It’s a little dig at the social laws and hierarchy of the time and about the upper classes, marriage and pomposity of that area.

“The writing at the time is just terrific writing to listen to and it’s a comedy so it’s a great laugh, I love working on coemdies.

“I really enjoy getting my teeth into a nitty-gritty part but I also love having the lightness of a comedy too - it’s nice to be able to have variety.”

The Importance of Being Earnest will run at Theatr Clwyd from Thursday, May 4 until Saturday, May 27.
